JEE Main & Advanced Physics Gravitation / गुरुत्वाकर्षण Question Bank Gravitation Potential

  • question_answer
    The radius of a planet is \[\frac{1}{4}\] of earth?s radius and its acceleration due to gravity is double that of earth?s acceleration due to gravity. How many times will the escape velocity at the planet?s surface be as compared to its value on earth?s surface           [BCECE 2003; MH CET 2000]

    A)             \[\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\] 

    B)             \[\sqrt{2}\]

    C)             \[2\sqrt{2}\]    

    D)             2

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    \[v=\sqrt{2gR}\]Þ \[\frac{{{v}_{p}}}{{{v}_{e}}}=\sqrt{\frac{{{g}_{p}}}{{{g}_{e}}}\times \frac{{{R}_{e}}}{{{R}_{p}}}}=\sqrt{2\times \frac{1}{4}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\] \ \[{{v}_{p}}=\frac{{{v}_{e}}}{\sqrt{2}}\]
